Home Buyer Services
CLOSE ON YOUR DREAM HOME WITH LEVINE HOMES REAL ESTATE & CONSTRUCTION
Levine Homes Real Estate & Construction has represented buyers across Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and Palos Verdes, from first-time purchases to complex escrows on custom and architecturally significant homes. Because we’re a licensed real estate brokerage that’s also a licensed general contractor, we bring a level of scrutiny to home inspections and property evaluation that a standard buyer’s agent can’t offer. If you’re purchasing a home anywhere in the South Bay, our team is ready to guide you from first showing to closing.
Full Service Buying Assistance, From Agents to Escrow
Buying a home is a major financial and emotional decision, and the process can feel lengthy and intimidating for a first-time buyer. Our team guides you through every step with hands-on, local support. No detail is too small when it comes to a home purchase, and we won't leave anything out. Here's what our process includes:
Connecting With a Buyer’s Agent: We’ll put you in touch with one of our skilled buyer’s agents who knows your desired neighborhood on day one
Getting Preapproved for a Loan: We’ll help you navigate the prequalification process and determine the appropriate mortgage for your budget.
Looking for Properties: We’ll narrow the search and use our database of beautiful properties to find your perfect home.
Making an Offer: We’ll help you make an appropriate offer and are prepared to negotiate in the event of multiple offers.
Making a Counteroffer: If the seller comes back with a counteroffer, we’ll help negotiate a fair price.
Depositing an Earnest Money Check: After your offer is accepted, we’ll help you make an earnest money deposit to the appropriate party.
Ordering the Title and Appraisal: We’ll order the title and an appraisal if it hasn’t already been done.
Meeting Lender Requirements: We’ll tackle any additional information needed by lenders before submitting your file to an underwriter.
Navigating Seller Disclosures: That fine print matters, and we’ll help you make sense of it.
Securing Insurance: You’ll want this early, and we’ll make it happen.
Conducting the Home Inspection: This step matters as much as any other in the transaction. Because Levine Homes Real Estate & Construction is a licensed general contractor as well as a real estate brokerage, we can flag structural, roofing, and code issues during your home inspection that a standard buyer’s agent might miss.
Requesting Repairs: If any health or safety issues arise during inspection, we’ll help submit a request for repairs.
Removing Contingencies: Unless you remove contingencies, the seller can cancel the contract even after taking the deposit.
Conducting the Walk-Through: We’ll take this last opportunity to inspect the property and ensure everything looks good.
Finishing Up: We’ll help you sign the loan, deposit funds, and close escrow so you can move in quickly.
